Martin Luther King's non-violent struggle for equal rights is still an inspiration today. With his speeches, he enthused many and managed to build bridges and remove resistance.
In 1965, King received the honorary doctorate in Social Sciences from VU University; three years later, he was shot dead in Memphis, Tennessee. This lecture is in memory of his work and to inspire the prevailing zeitgeist.
The Martin Luther King Lecture 2024 took place on 9 October 2024, with guest speaker Bryan Stevenson. Watch the retrospective.
The next lecture will take place on 9 October 2025. Registration for this will be available soon.
